Why does the amount of latent heat released increase between 0 and 30 minutes?

A
The cloud cools too quickly to allow condensation, increasing the amount of stored thermal energy.
B
Drier air mixes in, trapping more heat inside the storm.
C
Warm, moist air rises and condenses more rapidly, releasing stored energy that strengthens the storm.
D
The storm loses energy as air rises and cools, causing the latent heat to build up at the surface.
